RedHat 5.9 RHEL Desktop Gnome

All I have to do is the following:

System > Administration > Network
Change something or not, doesn't matter because it gets the same results.
File > Save and then it crashes.

Comment 2 Jirka Klimes 2013-07-10 07:28:03 UTC
This is not a NetworkManager problem, but system-config-network python GUI problem. It seems the tool doesn't support Wi-Fi configuration. You should rather use nm-connection-editor form NetworkManager or configure ifcfg files and /or wpa_supplicant manually.
